<h1>US-Canada Border Towns Brace for Impact as Tariffs Threaten Local Economies and Cross-Border Relations</h1> Communities along the US-Canada border are concerned about the impending tariffs announced by President Donald Trump, which impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on oil and gas. Canada plans to retaliate with a 25% import tax on American products. These measures could disrupt the intertwined economies and relationships across the border, affecting industries like agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. Residents in areas like Skagway, Point Roberts, Billings, Detroit, Buffalo, and Cutler worry about increased costs, strained relations, and economic impacts on local businesses, with some seeking exemptions or expressing concerns about the broader trade war consequences.
